Set due dates when creating a task with the [ ] syntax

This would be
really
helpful for me: https://missiveapp.com/docs/core-features/tasks/faq#can-i-set-a-due-date-when-creating-a-task-with-the-syntaxAre there plans to add this feature? I could migrate a whole checklist workflow into Missive with this.
To be clearer: I edit a newspaper and for every edition I have a list with many tasks for different team members and due dates as a text file (
[ ] task @user 2026-04-23
) . Every edition obviously has new due dates for the tasks, as those change according to the publication date. If I could copy that list of tasks directly into Missive and would have them recognized as tasks with assignees and dates, I could streamline the whole process immensely.However, when pasting multiple tasks, neither the user assignment nor the due date setting works (as documented in the FAQ item linked above). If that could be changed, my workflow would be much simpler. Feel free to get in touch to discuss.
